CHAMBER MUSIC: 18, by JAMES JOYCE Poet's Biography First Line: O sweetheart, hear you Last Line: Shall have rest. Subject(s): Friendship; Disappointment; Consolation; Desire | ||||||||
O Sweetheart, hear you Your lover's tale; A man shall have sorrow When friends him fail. For he shall know then Friends be untrue And a little ashes Their words come to. But one unto him Will softly move And softly woo him In ways of love. His hand is under Her smooth round breast; So he who has sorrow Shall have rest. | Discover our poem explanations - click here!Other Poems of Interest...AMERICAN WEDDING by ESSEX HEMPHILL HISTORY OF DESIRE by TONY HOAGLAND ARISTOTLE TO PHYLLIS by JOHN HOLLANDER CHAMBER MUSIC: 7 by JAMES JOYCE A MEMORY OF THE PLAYERS IN A MIRROR AT MIDNIGHT by JAMES JOYCE |
